What are the basic guidelines to follow when developing text for awards?

Developing text for awards is not a difficult task. Here are some basic guidelines.
A. THE RECIPIENT NAME IS FOREMOST
When an awards is being presented to an individual, the person’s name, to whom the awards is being presented, should be the focal point (largest wording) of the text. The individuals name is best positioned in the top half of the award.
B. Logos are generally on the top, but certainly not always.

Heading Text, explaining why the award is being presented…
The Awards consultants at D& S Awards will always assist and recommend a layout.
